LEGO® round plates and round tiles
Round LEGO® plates for small and large details
A round plate gives a model a different shape than rectangular plates. A small round plate can represent a button or detail, while a larger round surface can be useful for a base or circular build. The studs determine where you can continue building.
The shapes in this collection vary. In addition to fully round parts, there are rounded corners, flower shapes, and special variants. Therefore, look at the outline and connection points rather than just the word round in the product name.
Recognizing an open stud or center hole
The regular round 1x1 plate 4073 and the 1x1 plate 85861 with an open stud look similar, but have a different top surface. An open stud can provide space for a suitable connection through the center. Check which version your building step requires.
For a larger round surface, there is, for example, part 60474: a round 4x4 plate with a center hole. Plate 35480, on the other hand, has a rounded 1x2 shape and two open studs. Compare the shape and the location of the openings before choosing a replacement.
Combining rounded shapes and connections
A rounded corner such as 30357 helps round off a square surface on one side. A variant with a cutout, such as 68568, leaves space open in a different location. Part 2654, in turn, has a rounded underside. That underside is important when your model needs to connect to something.
For straight connections, you can also view the regular LEGO® plates ; for clips and offset studs, there are the LEGO® modified plates. Always check the full part number, the selected color, and the condition on the product page, so that both the outer shape and the connection fit.
